Makes me feel pretty confident about the strength of my ragtop, though.

By the way, it's kinda sad that, in a story about four or more deaths, we all thought "oh man, is that a MINI? what a tragedy"

To clarify, for me it was the MINI that made it more real. The personal 'connection'.

The tragedy is definitely with those who lost their lives...the MINI is just the six degrees of seperation piece.

This is like the third thread about this. Time for a merge again.
